Costly I have been there many times. I like to go in and look around. He has a lot of neat reptiles, That is why I go. But they are very over priced. He has had a pied ball python in there for over 6 months now. I can get one for about 600 plus shipping (50$)... last time I was there it was 1200. His reptiles look very under fed. Then I was informed that he is scared of snakes...so it makes me wonder on their care. The cages always seem to be dirty with old sheds and gross looking water. I have gone in to get used tanks he h... read more

"I'm just saying",.... I have shopped at this store for years. Always a pleasant atmosphere. I have had good luck with all the fish I have purchased from here. If you want to have bad luck go to Walmart for the cheap sick fish. Remember your aquarium, water, temperature, introduction to the new tank, the ride home and time all plays a big factor in how new fish adapt to your tank. I will continue to come here for fish for a long time. Look how many years this buisness has been doing well. Keep up the good work guys, you are ... read more

nice shop i just picked up some nice australian corals... i buy here often.. pretty competetive pricing..come on people you have to buy the fish on fri day when shipment comes in.. as with all pet store when you add a lot of fish to a system it shocks both the fish and the systems water.. ive had all my corals from here with 100% survival rate but the fish is maybe around 60%..all in all, best shop around locally for coral, period....

Good corals, bad fish Every time we are there, the corals he does carry look great. They are the more common, less colorful, lesser expensive corals, so I wish he carried more colorful items. He will order something, though. The fish are not so great. There are frequently fish who look stressed, their color(s) does not look great, and about one out of three visits there are dead fish in his little tanks. I am not sure if it's his supplier, if he's not feeding them right, or if the water's not up to specs. I don't want to pas... read more

oh my lord. i was a friend of an ex girlfriend of Greg's. He made her daughter go to his shop with him while she was at work without her knowledge. He was extremely lazy, and made this 9 year old girl work for him cleaning out tanks and picking out dead fish. I went to his shop and caught him by surprise, dipping out a very large amount of dead salt water fish. Most of the lovely fish i saw were stressing out in the corners of the tanks, and some of them even had ick and fin rot and nothing was done about it when i asked. He... read more

Horrible I bought five fish from this store two weeks ago. I had read the bad reviews but thought I would give them a try anyway. Four of the five fish I purchased have died already, along with all of the other fish in my tank that had been thriving for over a year in my tank. I don't know what the new fish had but if you want to save your fish and your money DO NOT buy from this store!
